In China rose the flowers are

  • actinomorphic, hypogynous with twisted aestivation

  • actinomorphic, epigynous with valvate aestivation

  • zygomorphic, hypogynous with imbricate aestivation

  • zygomorphic, hypogynous with imbricate aestivation


A.

actinomorphic, hypogynous with twisted aestivation

Actinomorphic  (star-shaped) can be divided into 3 or more identical sectors, which are related to each other by rotation about the centre of the flower, e.g., china rose. Zygomorphic flowers can be divided by only a single plane into two mirror-image halves., e.g., orchids.
Valvate aestivation: The sepals or petals in whorl just touch one another at the margin, e.g., Calotropis.
Twisted aestivation: One margin of the appendage overlaps that of the next one, e.g., china rose. Imbricate aestivation the margins of sepals or petals overlap but not necessarily in a specific direction. e.g cassia.

The wheat grain has an embryo with one large, shield-shaped cotyledon known as

  • Epiblast

  • Coleorrhizia

  • Scutellum

  • Scutellum

Scutellum

The grain of wheat, maize or rice is a caryopsis. The embryo in such grains lies laterally near the base of the grain. The embryo consists of an upper large, shield-shaped cotyledon known as scutellum. The scutellum is closely pressed against the endosperm and helps in the translocation of nutrients from endosperm to the growing embryo at the time of germination and seedling growth.

Flowers

 

Hypogynous

Perigynous

Epigynous

Gynoecium present above all the floral parts

Ovary is superior

Gynocecium present in the centre.

Other part almost at same level.

Ovary half inferior, e.g., Plum,rose

Ovary enclosed by thalamus and gets fused with it

Other parts above ovary

Ovary inferior e.g., Guava, cucumber.

Pulm, rose are perigynous and guava, cucumber are epigynous. So, total remaining plants are hypogynous.

(a) Secondary cortex
(b) Wood
(c) Secondary phloem
(d) Phellem
The correct order is

  • (c), (d), (b), (a)

  • (a), (b), (d), (c)

  • (d), (a), (c), (b)

  • (d), (a), (c), (b)


C.

(d), (a), (c), (b)

 The correct order of arrangement of the given components from outside to inside in a woody dicot stem is as follows:
Phellem Secondary cortex Secondary phloem wood
